Very good we used to live in Cornwall so good to see the old westward tv ident. My favourite is htv west which we watched when we visited my auntie in Bristol in the 1970’s
I remember the 1988-93 Ulster ident as I was a small child at the time. Have lost how many times Ulster/UTV ident has changed since 1993 but nice to see these idents from yesteryear, pre-ITV centralisation.
Even though I was born and raised in the Thames/LWT area and then moved to Yorkshire, I have to say that I still think that the colour ATV ident was always my favourite followed by Anglia
Scottish is my region but one Friday viewers got Grampian instead due to problems in Glasgow any programmes made by Scottish were pervious editions of whatever programme that would be shown in the timeslot
09:33 Semicircle Green: TSW is a affiliate in ITV, some mistakes ident for semicircle green keep moving and flat change or shadow. CLG says: On a black background, we see an overhead view of a staticky television screen with a red border around it. A blue square comes out of the screen.The square curves and starts to cover the screen as a pink volcano-likeappendage rises out of the screen. Once the screen is covered, it is now a blue sphere. The sphere splits into three and then six in a "mitosis"-like effect. The spheres then flip to reveal that they are green hemispheres with a blue interior. The hemispheres then form pairs at various angles (looking a bit like the Sydney Opera House, but actually supposed to represent an abstract sailboat shape similar to the Golden Hind in the Westward TV logos) and move toward the center of the screen. A blue zigzag line appears below them and "TSW" appears below the line. That's being to illuminate of moving. This is a mistake.
The last ident is the Generic Ident that was dropped by many of the franchises in the early 90’s except for Yorkshire until 1996 and Grampian used theirs until they folded and were bought out by Scottish ( which only used their version for 3 months ) in 1998. Some of the franchises didn’t use it all, in fact gave it the finger, I am not surprised though since the designers really messed up some of the stations logos in the triangle. An interesting concept in theory but not so good in practice.
It was made at LWT just before the early 90’s franchise changes. Initially for an internal ITV Network feed to celebrate migration of the old Analogue transmission operation to a new digital Presentation operation and BT National Network ! Its been copied many times mainly to VHS, hence the poor quality.
ABC was the weekend itv franchise for the North and the Midlands regions until 1968, when they lost their franchise and both areas were covered all week by Granada ( North West ), Yorkshire ( Yorkshire and from 1974, North Norfolk and Lincolnshire) and ATV ( rebranded as Central in 1982 ) the merged with the then London weekday franchise, Rediffusion London ( aka, Associated-Rediffusion) albeit Rediffusion was reluctant to do so, the merger though became Thames Television and began broadcasting from Rediffusion’s former studios in Teddington, whilst a new weekend franchise for London and the ITV network was formed called London Weekend ( aka London Weekend Television or LWT ) and began broadcasting from Friday evening to Midnight on Sundays from a newly built studio on the South Bank.
@ハンク・ハンキー Something like that, it’s not the same tv company as the the American one of the same name put it that way if @npfooty was referring to that.
It’s amazing how much affection one can have for these little things. I really do miss them.

Anglia was just beautiful to me as a child.
Yes, true. I loved the Anglua one but seemed only ever to see it before Sale Of The Century
It's interesting to see TSW doing the ITV retrospective as well as appreciating many other ITV companies, even including Channel Television.
RIP TVam
1983 - 1992
Very well put together! Regards.
Good old Grampian. Though I have to say that Tyne Tees was always my favourite ident. (the late seventies/eighties version)
Tyne Tees was my local. Good Times :)

@Mello Yello YTP: To me it always looked like an abstract Palm Tree [ they have palm trees on the Cornish coast ]with a River flowing beneath it.

THIS ITA PICASSO CARD WITH LONDON WAS USED FOR REDIFFUSION MONDAY'S TO FRIDAYS AND ATV LONDON USED IT FOR SATURDAY'S AND SUNDAYS
As a North American, I'm sad that the Thames ID is gone, since it always reminds me of Benny Hill.
Super Simple was a Canadian TH-camr
Let's get htv
Granada had to be the most uninspiring ident ever.
Great I dents.
ABC?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?????
I don't know what was ABC doing here
@@michaelpardo625 abc is part of ITV…
